Although, 1976 wasn't the only time he had an acoustic set. He DID have a segment during his 2002 tour, playing several Beatles and solo tunes, just him and an acoustic guitar, occasionally joined by Wix (he did songs like "Mother Nature's Son," "Every Night," "Something" with just a ukulele, etc.). And he DID tell stories about most of the songs, which was quite endearing. We saw him at what was then the Fleet Center (the new Boston Garden), with seats above the stage, just to the musicians' left0, and we had a pretty good view of Paul from the side, not that far away, and you could tell he was both excited AND nervous being up there without the band. It was a great moment in the show.

in years to come/they may discover/what the air we breathe and the life we lead are all about/but it won't be soon enough for me

I think Paul should quit the singalong version of Hey Jude. Instead he should include Mary had a little lamb. Can you Imagine the thunderous sing along. "Now all the ladies sing La La -"And now all the Boys La La- "and now Everybody sing La, La, La, La La- la,la,la,la Mary had a little lamb........This will be a totally jawdropping experience and a gamechanger in the world of showbusiness. Please Paul do it.
